Re: [HACKERS] create index regression fail

 the query where the regression fails is:

 my first theory was that it was because some locale because mine is
 es_EC.UTF-8 but the content of the table doesn't justify that,

[ experiments... ]  Looks like you're wrong about that.  In ec_EC locale
on my machine, the test accepts these rows that are not accepted in C
locale:

  223 | LLKAAA
  738 | LLEAAA

I'll change the lower bound to 'MA' and see if that's any more portable.

oh! i remember now a thread where we talk about glibc not doing the
right thing about this:
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/20081215160148.gf4...@alvh.no-ip.org

an update to that post would be that in that time CH and LL where
independent letters but sorted as if they weren't, now they both were
degraded to be a combination of two letters.

Yeah, some of these are pretty recent developments by the real academia
de la lengua, I guess glibc hasn't gotten word about it 100% yet.  On
the other hand I wonder if es_EC is different from other spanish locales
for some reason ...
